Fix detached frenulum?

Please post a photograph of the vulva and the area that you are referring to. It would be easier to determine whether or not any thing can be done you help you achiever your desired results.

Hello,

Thank you for the question.

I'm sorry to hear that you are not fully happy with your results.

It may be possible to perform revision surgery to help address your concerns.

I would recommend to obtain an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in Labiaplasty procedures to further discuss your options and expectations.

I hope this helps.
Best, Dr. Karanetz

It would be helpful if you send some photos. As the inventor and innovator of the wedge technique in 1994, I reconstruct many women who have had labia reductions by other surgeons, both wedge and trimming techniques. Your present dissatisfaction is due to a trimming labiaplasty which can leave a protruding frenulum. I have repaired many of these in which I suture the frenulum down. You also state that you have no labia. That also may be fixed. I published the first and most extensive paper on labia reconstruction in the prestigious journal "Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery" over ten years ago, and about 40% of my female genital surgeries are reconstructions of botched labiaplasties. You may need various reconstructive techniques to give you a good appearance, but this won't be known until all the swelling is gone. If you want small labia, I probably would recommend clitoral hood flaps to reconstruct your labia if your surgeon left enough remaining clitoral hood. I also invented that procedure, which is published in the paper above. You only get one good chance to reconstruct you, so be patient and ask a lot of questions.
